I keep being refused with messages like the one below.
Yes, I'd better sleep, I forgot to paste the error message. here it goes.
For the record, upgrading to the latest rpm from the fetchmail home page
doesn't change the problem, and fetchmailconf aborts saying:
[marco(_at_)polaris marco]$ fetchmailconf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/fetchmailconf", line 9, in ?
from Tkinter import *
ImportError: No module named Tkinter
even if rpm didn't find any missing dependency
Now the error message. Thanks again for any feedback:
